CBF Winter Meeting

December 15th, 2007 by KClarke

Just a reminder…CBF members and friends are meeting at Joey’s Brickhouse on Belmont this Tuesday Dec. 18th. We’ll be there anytime after 6pm. It’s 15 all you can drink beer and all you can eat pizza (good pizza made to order!!) Joey and Greg have promised to take special care of all CBF supporters (I think they’re makin’ smores!) Please rsvp to this email if you plan on attending so we can give Joey’s a better count for Tuesday…More info below!
Thanks,
Your Friends at Chicago Biofuels

p.s…if you haven’t picked up your membership packet you can do so on Tuesday…Thanks!!

What better way to say Happy Holidays than with a gift from Chicago Biofuels?! Check out the new merchandise page at chicagobiofuels.org to see our t-shirts and bumper stickers! Our t-shirts are 100% US made Organic cotton that’s locally hand silk-screened with non-toxic inks and our stickers are the perfect stocking stuffer for all your bio-buddies!! There are other ways to support Chicago Biofuels in your holiday giving…consider making a donation in someone’s name…and nothing says I love you (and the earth) like a gift membership! Remember to order early to be sure your gift arrives in time for whichever holiday you choose to celebrate this season (we suggest ordering by Dec. 14th if said holiday involves a fat man in a red suit!!) Feel free to CONTACT US by email if you have any shipping questions! You can also call the Chicago Biofuels Headquarters at 312-492-9987!

If you don’t want to get ALL your gifts from the Chicago Biofuels merchandise page, then you can still support us in your holiday shopping. If you shop online please use Goodsearch to look for gifts and Goodshop to make your purchases. When you select Chicago Biofuels as your non-profit of choice, a portion of each internet search or online purchase goes to Chicago Biofuels…and this can really add up. We’ve made around $20 so far from Goodsearch alone!! (When you Goodshop, be sure to click on the blue donation line under each store icon…if you just click on the icon you go to their page and bypass the donation portion…sneaky huh!!)

And don’t forget to join us for our December Meeting/Holiday Party at Joey’s Brickhouse on Belmont in Chicago. We’re getting together on Tuesday Dec. 18th to celebrate our successes, discuss our future and drink some beer!! They’ll be a special deal that night for all Chicago Biofuels Members (and non-member supporters). You’ll get all the Pizza, Beer, and Rice Krispie Treats you can handle for 15 bucks and you get to hang out with other Biofuels supporters in Chicago. Special thanks to Joey’s Brickhouse for hosting us and for letting us collect their beautiful grease for the past few weeks!!

Thanks for supporting Chicago Biofuels…soon all of Chicago will be nestled snug in their beds, with visions of grease cars dancing through their heads!!

PUBLIC MEETING, BBQ and Car Show!!

August 30th, 2007 by KClarke

Hey Everybody,
It’s time for our next public meeting! On Saturday Sept. 15th we will meet in the parking lot behind 1500 S. Western Ave. from Noon until 4ish for a day of fun, food and biofuels!! Bring your diesel, food to grill, beverages (adult or otherwise) and your friends to what we hope will be our biggest meeting to date!! We will have fuel available for sale and you can sign up to be a member if you’re not already. We will have some demos about the process of converting your diesel to a WVO Grease Machine and have several converted cars on display. So if you’ve been dying to show off your sweet ride, here’s your chance. We will also be signing up volunteers to help grow Chicago Biofuels, so if you’ve got some time to donate we want to talk to you!! If you have any questions Click Here to send us an email, and please pass along this info to anyone who might not be on our email list. Thanks for your interest; we hope to see you there!!
